“I Would Have to Get the Police Involved to Find Her”: 3x NBA Champion Opened Up on His “Ugly and Nasty” $5 Million Divorce Proceedings That Involved Over 13 Lawyers

It has been some years since Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade began their love story together. Both have spoken about the ups and downs they faced throughout the years. The time they have spent with each other has taught them a lot, and their love has undoubtedly grown stronger over the years. 

There is never a dull moment when fans see both of them supporting one another, walking on the red carpet with their fashion styles, and celebrating love like no other. They met in 2007 when Wade was in the middle of a divorce from his high school sweetheart Siohvaughn Funches. 

It became apparent that both the actress and former NBA player were dating each other. However, it took a long time for the divorce to be finalized. 2010 marked the finalization of the divorce. Wade and his ex-wife have two children: Zaire and Zaya. Following the divorce, Wade was awarded full custody of his kids. 

The couple spoke openly about their relationship and Wade’s divorce during an interview. Wade expressed the position that he is right in that situation once. “My divorce was taking forever. She wound up having 13 different lawyers in the process. So every time you get a new lawyer, the case starts over,” Wade explained in a 2020 ESPN documentary called ‘D. Wade: Life Unexpected’.
